It has been ages since I have seen the film...I think I was the only one in my entire family who could sit through it and be constantly intrigued. I hate to disagree with Christian (believe me I really don't want to), but personally, I feel that this is a very tender and well developed score. Rachel Portman did a very good job at putting this together. If you feel like listening to a very subtle and relaxed score that holds every ounce of emotion get this if you can (especially now since its out of print).
